Anyone done a rendering of the skyline with all three? I did a cursory look & didn't see anything. I still wonder if all three will be completed as proposed but of course a lot can happen between now and then. End results always change from proposals. Village point changed a few times from the o...

"Plans to redevelop the property were scaled back last spring after city officials decided against putting a $50 billion general obligation bond issue before voters." From the OWH story. Too bad about the $50 BILLION general obligation bonds. The development could have used them to build t...

I'm curious. Between this, Lanoha & Capitol District that's a lot of office space to absorb. Do you think all three will happen?

Mayor to nowhere? I never figured out what her vision or passion were about Omaha except for something about taxes too high and too much waste. Ok, nice talk. Where's the beef? $3,000,000 savings? Thanks for the 18 cents. What else you got? Yeah boohoo *sob*. No pointless bridge by TD Ameri...

That was definitely an interesting time in Omaha. HNG/Internorth (Enron) moving to Houston was a big blow to Omaha. If we had lost Con Agra on top of that, would have been a downhill spiral. It would have been nice to have the Jobbers Canyon buildngs to rehab now or since then. That being said...

BMW plant backstory

Here's the Micron back story.

Micron story

RNcyanide wrote:What were Mercedes and BMW doing here?

Possibly locating factories in Omaha. BMW went to South Carolina & Mercedes went to Alabama. Micron, another big possibility, ended up in Utah. THAT was a huge battle.

Yeah, I've mentioned that piece of Conagra's land in my tirades about Jobber's Canyon. This is my recollection....I believe the story goes that Conagra bought the land to build a campus, but the City of Omaha really wanted to keep them downtown. They were in the new red brick 15-story twin Central ...

Southwest serves BWI, Reagan National and Dulles, Washington's three airports. National has tons of service, not limited. "Limited" wasn't the right word, admittedly, I meant restrictions on flight distance (similar to LaGuardia, I believe) and the general issues with approach (avoiding ...

My family flew from Detroit to Ft Lauderdale on Spirit last April. Me, my wife, our 15 year old daughter and 12 year old son. Both ways, shoes on and we carried my notebook computer, my daughter carried her macbook pro, son had ipad mini and my wife and I each had cel phones. No problem with any of ...

Here comes Novak the broken record... Where are the flights to LAX(year round), San Francisco, San Diego, Baltimore, Boston, Orlando, Tampa, Philly, Miami and/or Ft Lauderdale? Also, Allegiant flies from both Tulsa and OKC. While I'm glad that GRI is having success with Allegiant I want to know why ...

In the six years since you were here a lot has been done downtown & a lot more is on the way. Soon they are starting work on a streetcar line up Woodward (Detroit's Dodge St.) The guy who owns Quicken Loans moved the whole company downtown & he personally bought a ton of buildings & fixe...

Every once in a while I check gasbuddy in Omaha. Omaha is consistantly 30-80 cents less than I pay in Detroit.

As to a business park one thing did happen that impacted this area. Aksarben Village. I'm a business owner and I call a realtor to inquire about available space. He says he's got a couple of areas on which to build, AV and Southport. I jump in the family truckster and drive to both to take a lo...

No, no. There is still plenty of room for an arena.

NovakOmaha

It's as simple as this. Probably a new development on the grounds of the civic will get some kind of tax incentive but in time it will create a mountain of real estate taxes and probably sales tax too. That is a good thing, right?

They should buy Park Plaza West, the tall building. It was supposed to be a hotel when it was first built but ran into trouble during construction & sat exposed for years. When it was finally finished the structural steel bled & the apartments had this red stain running down the walls. It ne...

That is exactly my point Brad. For trade shows, conferences, training programs, etc., Omaha is perfect.

Will do. We are over due for a trip up there. Greg I'd love to take you on a ride around the D. Downtown is booming, if you can believe that.

I'm sure they do but I wonder why Clink doesn't get more trade shows. It's easy money and there are tons of them around the country. Omaha is right in the middle of the country and who wouldn't want the airport & hotels to be within minutes of the trade show? the ones I go to range from Dall...

12 Oaks is aging better. I like the department store mix at 12 Oaks. They did a real nice job there with the addition and remodel years back.

They don't show it in any of the pics I originally posted but I remember a rendering similar to the one with marina city where there was a 100,000 seat dome proposed about where the Clink is.
